How to use ChatGPT for SOPs without documenting a fantasy

SOPs go wrong when you document the process you wish you had. Voice-dump today’s reality, generate a checklist, then label it v0.1.

  1. 01

    Capture the messy truth

    Voice note or bullet how the task actually happens — including the awkward bits.

  2. 02

    Ask for a verb-led checklist

    Steps with owners as roles, definition of done, and common failure modes. No policy essay.

  3. 03

    Answer the open questions

    ChatGPT will invent process gaps. Fill them yourself before anyone trains on the SOP.

Before you decide

Is an AI SOP compliance-ready?

No. Treat it as an internal first draft. Regulated processes need human ownership and proper review.
